City Boy Secures AIR 80, Scores 99.9 percentile in JEE Mains Arch

Nagpur: Driven by a deep passion for architecture, city boy Arenjay Das has scored a remarkable 99.9 percentile to achieve AIR 80 in the JEE Mains (Session 2) examination. Arenjay is aiming to get admission at Delhi's School of Planning and Architecture (SPA). Talking to TOI, Arenjay credited a disciplined routine and preparation strategy for his success. "I've been consistently studying for six hours every day for the last two years. My passion for architecture really drives me," said Arenjay, son of Jaydeep and Renuka Das. "I studied for just six to seven hours daily, but with complete focus," he added. The JEE exam, a mix of aptitude, mathematics, drawing, and architecture-specific topics like history, materials, and product studies, requires a balanced approach. "We had logical reasoning, aptitude, math, and a 100-mark drawing section that included memory drawing, 2D and 3D positioning. I started solving questions of my strong areas and left math for the end because I'm slightly weak in it," Arenjay explained. "Instead of guess work, I focused on solving questions I was sure about," he said. Arenjay emphasised the importance of strategic preparation. "I didn't try to solve everything. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I tried solving what I thoroughly knew," he said. Interestingly, despite the rigorous schedule, Arenjay maintained a healthy study-leisure balance. "Until a week before the exam, I used to regularly play football. I also love wildlife photography. These activities kept me fresh and motivated," he said. Though confident that his second attempt had gone well, Arenjay admitted he didn't expect the result to be this good. With SPA Delhi as his dream college, he is now closer than ever to his goal, proving that consistency, strategy, and passion are the true keys to success.
